Wellllll, I'm not done yet, so who knows!
I just can't reason out these Foxs.
I'm actually completely open on all four L/H to get a reasonably soft, comfortable ride..that would be similar to my Eibachs were. The large cracks & bumps are better than the Eibachs though.
I'm just surprised that I'm at the bottom of adjustment range to get that ride..and I'm really only about 3/4" lifted in Front over what my Eibachs were (which means 2.25" actual lift from the 3" PEs..my Eibach Clip#2 0.6 + ORP 1" was ~1.625" initially but settled to 1.5" leveled lift after a year).
My corner heights now are...
LF 39.75" RF 39.75"
LR 39.875" RR 40.125"
The Left side looks leveled as before (only 1/8" rake), but the Right side doesn't (the 3/8" rake is noticable to me)..the 1/4" rear Left Lean is barely noticable.
I want to get that RR corner dropped 1/4", but that's easier said than done. If I have the 1" spacer machined down to 3/4", it'll bottom on the metal spring locator ring on the axle..there is maybe 1/8" gap now at best, so I'd have to grind down the top of that locator ring to clearance a 3/4" spacer puck to sit on the axle pad not the ring..and I'm loathe to that idea!
Few possible solutions...
(1) I do have a 0.5" billet lipped ring spacer that I could swap for the 1" puck spacer on the RR. It would over-lower the RR by 1/8" (0.375" rake on Right side) and the 1/4" Left Lean should then be a 1/4" Right Lean ..although that RR never drops as much as it should, so maybe it'd level it.
(1+) I could also pull the extra 1/8" spacer disc I put under the LR 1" puck spacer and add it under the RR 0.5" lipped ring spacer (it'd mean having to pull the LR spring also..extra work, but rear has to be lowered for RR spacer swap anyways).
In theory, this should drop the LR by 1/8" and then the RR would only drop by 3/8", instead of 0.5", and then all corners should be 39.75" on paper/in theory..but in practice, the front will probably sag/drop slightly with the rear drop, but it should be very close to four corner level(?)!
(2)I do have an extra (correct PN) OEM rear spring that had cut a half coil off as a tester. My current RR has one full coil cut off, and it lowers the RR corner by 0.5" (that's how thick the coil "wire" is, and the top two coils are stacked under weight). My truck had 0.625-0.75" Left Lean from the factory.
I could cut this coil to be 1.25 or 1.5 cut off the top. One issue is that the spring will clock differently on the axle pad side then..and the top of the spring may not technically be stacked anymore, or as much, and that might unbalance the ride(??) since the OEM springs are dual rate, or at least dual coil spacing.
This option is more unknown since it's not cutting more than a full stacked coil, so could mean a couple in/out/cuts and maybe wouldn't work in the end.
I've gotten pretty skilled at Ram suspension swaps, so as much as I'm not really liking all this work I can/will do it in order to try to keep the Fox as my suspension.
Option (1) probably won't work because the of the L Lean becoming a R Lean(?).
So Option (1+) is probably the best option as it would seem to perfectly match all four corners at 39.75", that RR corner never seems to drop as much as expected.
I'm feeling a double middle fingers gesture coming at some point here as I'm not enjoying too much (maybe beer needs to be part of this job)
(I had my old setup really dialed in well..it just wasn't up to snuff with the heavier tires on rougher roads. I'll get this setup there too..just gonna take some more work
